[[HTC Vive Developer Editions]] or HTC Vive Development Kits are [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]]s developed by [[HTC]] and [[Valve]] as part of the [[SteamVR]] ecosystem. 2 versions of the Vive Development Kits were released to select developers in 2015 and 2016. The first version of the HMD (Vive DK1) was announced on March 1, 2015. Similar to [[Oculus Rift]] and unlike [[Samsung Gear VR]], HTC Vive requires connecting to a PC, not Smartphone, for its processing. It uses 2 external sensors, called [[SteamVR Base Stations]] called [[Beacons]], to accurately track the user's position and movement in a finite space. Limited amount of Development Kits were released in Spring 2015. A wide consumer release is planned in April 2016.
